[intro]
|
dedicated to my son, that's about to be born
|
so by the time you people hear this record, my son'll be born
|
and i gotta teach him about life
|
|
[guru]
|
listen
|
to my little man
|
you can never have too little plans
|
always bring your game direct, cut out the middle man
|
life is full of sacrifice, for truth you might have to fight
|
someone'll bring you down
|
cause they ain't livin right
|
be sure to use your mind, though
|
look for all the signs, yo
|
don't want to make a move too quick and get left behind, yo
|
be in command of whatever you encounter
|
appreciate your blessings, son, you'll see what it amounts to
|
obtaining your goals, maintainin control
|
self-respect helps you to protect your soul
|
never give up, always be ready to try
|
walk your own walk, and keep your head to the sky
|
|
[chorus: amel larrieux]
|
little thing now here you are
|
staring at me with those baby eyes
|
all you do is sleep, eat, and cry
|
but one day you're gonna be askin me why
|
everything i know i'm gonna tell you about
|
anything i don't you'll figure out
|
cause living is learnin and learnin is livin
|
and then you pass it on
|
|
[guru]
|
and to my home boys, who clearly understand
|
what it really takes to be a man and what it means to be the head of fam
|
the ups and downs of life plus the choices we make
|
causes to reevaluate directions we take
|
and being up in the club is mad fun til they act dumb
|
and everyone still packs guns whether nines or mac one-ones
|
it's time now for us to seperate the mediocre from the great
|
keep all the jokers from the game
|
i've played my position, so why don't you try to play yours
|
i've made my decision, plus you're in my prayers
|
my life is changed now, plus i got a shorty now
|
mad responsibilities, it's like i'm almost forty now
|
all the young girls wanna swing, my wifey says she wants a ring
|
i wonder what the next days, are gonna bring
|
we must live and fight for the right causes and be ready to die
|
i love you kid, so keep your head to the sky
|
|
[chorus: amel larrieux]

|

|
every since you fell out of the heavens
|

|
so i'll share with you everything
|
make little girls and boys grow up to be kings and queens
|
